Q: At 8.6x earnings, I find this a steal. For most of 2022 it ran between 6 and 7. It dropped to 4 and a little below in December with tax loss and market backdrop. If you agree with this would you consider this a strong buy especially with shorts needing to cover.

Q: I never thought I would be prompted to ask a question like this but now I wonder...

If I have an account with a discount broker that is part of a big 5 bank which contains say, $250k of cash, and $250k of, for example BCE stock, is there a greater of losing the cash or the stock in a default? Thanks

Q: Does the current panic in the financial sector make FSZ more attractive or less? Should we treat its recent 13% drop as an opportunity, or should we worry that spooked investors will withdraw assets?

Sometimes companies get taken private when their share price is depressed; given such a move, would shareholders likely be the losers? Not so long ago (at $1/share higher), you characterized FSZ as "fine for income"; do you still think so?
